OK, Pat, I guessed wrong about the antenna. What is your removable secret?

Well, and this is NOT concours, this is MY method to play the radio when I want, without EVER drilling a hole in the fender. Yeah, I know, I'm extremely anal about this. NO, I will NEVER drill the hole. Whoever inherits my 914 can, if they wish, but not me.
First off, I almost never listen to the radio. My Frankfurt has probably had no more than 200 hours playing time since late '72. I'd just rather listen to the sounds of the car - listen to the radio/whatever all the time in my other cars.
Back to my method. A ten penny nail, with a speaker wire loop soldered to the head. Plug it in - drape the wire on the dashtop - radio works just fine. Pull it out for concours & no one's the wiser. Never had a judge ask me why I have a radio but no antenna. If he did, I'd simply tell him he's supposed to be judging the INTERIOR for originality, and nothing else.
BTW, my original speaker enclosures (non-radio) had a black plastic plate that covered the inside, sorta like a blank. Have no idea what became of it.
